Farrakhan 'Confesses'

A softer Louis Farrakhan, battling cancer and perhaps facing his own mortality, admitted that he "may have been complicit in words" in the 1965 assassination of his bitter rival, Malcolm X. Farrakhan, in a meeting filmed by CBS' 60 Minutes with Malcolm's daughter, Attallah Shabazz, told her that he may have helped incite her father's killers by pronouncing Malcolm "worthy of death" shortly before he was gunned down by Nation of Islam assassins. The ailing Farrakhan, 67, recently proclaimed himself a changed man and has been trying to mend fences with various rivals in the black Islamic group he has led since 1978.
